BEST SUMMER EVER
AT THE TREASURE VALLEY FAMILY YMCA
WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT A Y SUMMER?
Well, first you’d have to answer “what is the Y?” It could be any of our amazing
facilities throughout the Treasure Valley, including our new one in south Meridian,
or even our campgrounds at Horsethief Reservoir; but it’s more than that! The Y
isn’t just a place, it’s an opportunity to make new friends, discover your potential,
experience something new, and just have fun. A summer at the Y focuses on
three key drivers of impact that inspire healthy youth development journeys:
achievement, relationships, and belonging.
YMCA programs and camps nurture and celebrate the social-emotional, CHILD
DEVELOPMENT
cognitive, and physical development of all youth, resulting in the
BEST SUMMER EVER! So join us on a summer journey at your favorite
Y location. Or branch out and visit our new South Meridian Family
YMCA, where parents and kids can race down slides in the exciting
four-level, all-ages, family Adventure Zone play structure.
We’ll see you here!

ALL KIDS HAVE POTENTIAL. That’s why we support their social-emotional, cognitive,
and physical development from craddle to career with holistic programs that don’t just close the
achievement gap—they help kids realize who they are and all they can achieve.
